hear that click click click click click in fast succession? well that is actually worn flat spots on the bogie wheels. Flat spots distrupt the circular geometry of the wheel, caused by heavy braking. The bogies need to be dissasembled and the wheels turned in a lathe.
If not done it will eventually lead to worn and broken wheels and Rails.
Other examples of this can be found on some american locomotive videos.
I counted 52 cars in the consist. Coal trains in the US often number 100 or more with 2-3 locomotives. I was interested in the use of electric power for the locomotive.
